I get the following error messages when trying to open a CD device
(specifically, the Teac CD-ROM CD-224E) that has no media present:
hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: packet command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand
LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
This happens when a "start stop unit" command (0x1b 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0)
is sent to the drive to try to close the CD-ROM tray, but this drive
doesn't have that capability (it's a slim portable-type CD-ROM), so it
reports sense key 5 (illegal request) with asc/ascq 24/0. This is
exactly how SFF8090i says it should respond.
But ide-cd.c (in cdrom_decode_status() ) just sees sense key 5 and spews
out an error. It then goes on to request sense data, and
cdrom_log_sense() understands this error and doesn't log it.
The patch, for kernel 2.6.20.4, suppresses this error message.
